Nope, I said what I said. No one needs a second home. Lots of people need a first.
So what is your proposal? If anyone doesn't get any second houses how it will help other people? Let's say it will make houses cheaper. How is it any good? Lot's of building companies will go bankrupt in days after announcing such law. Can you imagine what type of chain reaction it will start? Also, people can easily need second homes. 1- For where your work is at. 2- For where your homecity is at. 3- For where you are spending your holidays at. It's nice of you to be thoughtful of poor people/people in need but socialist dreams are just what they are. Dreams. It's much easier and logical to make another cake then trying to split a small cake to hundreds of pieces equally.
It helps other people because more units available leads to dropping prices.
I don't think there is any data to back that up.
1st year econ says something supply demand curve something something price. But that's not true in practice
